Martyr's Family Finds Help, Healing

[222] prayers in [15] nations have been posted for Sunita and Stuti.

Pastor Vinod was killed in 2021, leaving behind his wife, Sunita, and 13-year-old daughter, Stuti. They have struggled emotionally and financially with their loss while living with Hindu family members who refuse to help them. Front-line workers have helped them get counseling, which has given them tools to express and process their emotions and begin to regain some joy. They have also helped Sunita start a business to support her family. Praise the Lord for his healing in their lives, and pray for the emotional and spiritual healing to continue for Sunita and Stuti.
